Figure 2-2. Source Routing Across a Token Ring Network
You configure source routing end-node support on a per-circuit basis by setting
the End Station Enable parameter to Enable. Refer to “Editing VINES Interface
Parameters” in Chapter 4 for details on enabling this parameter.
Making the Transition from Bridging VINES to Routing VINES
If you want to shift from bridging to routing VINES over WANs, you must
temporarily disable the Fragmentation Protocol (FRP) header on each VINES
WAN interface connected to a bridge.
To disable the FRP header, disable the Use of FRP Header parameter; the default
value of this parameter is Enable. Refer to “Editing VINES Interface Parameters
”
in Chapter 4 for details on disabling this parameter.
For example, Figure 2-3
shows multiple loops in a bridged environment.
Note:
You may also need to disable the FRP header for your router to
interoperate with other routers that do not support the Fragmentation Protocol.
